It describes in detail Anthony Lynn's activities, from 6am to 8pm, during one day of OTA's. Tells you a lot about his style.

Compare it with a similar thing on Ram's rookie head coach Sean McVay: completely different style. McVay is still offensive coordinator minded: focuses a ton of attention on designing the offense. He uses some sort of idiotic pyramid schematic- with excellence near the top, and some idiotic acronym that everyone needs to regurgitate for motivation or some damn thing. Caught Wade Phillips off guard during a group meeting with his annoying pop questions. A more gung-ho Mike McCoy type. Article already describes elements of practice a bit off track. Reminds me of Josh McDaniels.

Barring injuries, I don't think Wiggins makes the team at the end of camp.

Locks: Okung, Slauson, Pulley, Lamp, Barksdale, Feeney

That leaves 2 - 3 more spots.

Wiggins doesn't play center & is a disaster at RT. He hasn't been particularly good at LG/RG so far.

Tuerk, Clark, Burwell, Tevis, Hairston....Clark has shown something & can play RT in a pinch - I think he makes it; Tevis will be on the practice squad (i like him); Hairston is always injured.....he'll still make it over Wiggins.

The reason why the Chargers owe nearly $22 million? They're paying two offensive linemen -- Orlando Franklin and King Dunlap -- a combined $11,550,000 in 2017. Throw in the $4 million they owe cornerback Brandon Flowers and the $1 million they owe receiver Stevie Johnson and you can understand why their dead cap is so high.

To most football fans, the best-known name of the presenters will be Lorenzo Neal, the former fullback who was chosen as LaDainian Tomlinson’s presenter. Neal blocked for Tomlinson in San Diego from 2003 to 2007.

Longtime NFL kicker Morten Andersen has chosen his son, Sebastian Andersen, as his presenter. Sebastian is a high school linebacker in Georgia.

Terrell Davis chose his longtime agent and friend Neil Schwartz as his presenter. Schwartz represented Davis throughout his NFL career.

Two players chose former coaches, with Kenny Easley choosing his high school coach Tommy Rhodes, and Jason Taylor choosing his Dolphins coach Jimmy Johnson.

And two inductees chose their wives: Jerry Jones will be presented by Gene Jones, and Kurt Warner will be presented by Brenda Warner.

from a commenter at PFT

The only reason Jerry Jones is going to be in the HOF is because of Jimmy Johnson. And everybody who will be in Canton that weekend will know this, including Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones. Thank you Jason Taylor for creating an uncomfortable situation that everybody will greatly enjoy except Jerry.

Leading in dead cap doesn't imply cheap. It implies total failure in free agency.

Exactly. More looms out there... In Okung....and in the deal for Ingram.

Melvin Ingram signed a 4 year, $66,000,000 contract with the Los Angeles Chargers, including $42,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $16,500,000. $42 million guaranteed. Expect him to play hard....for what? Bosa is not going to wait pass year two, to start compaining.

Chargers lead NFL in dead cap, owe $21 million to players who aren't on their roster

Telesco isn't evaluating FAs, FA contracts on his own. I notice that the HC and OL coaches that approved them are gone.
The fact that the need for OL was recognized and fix was attempted
is a plus. Having missed was no reason to quit swinging. This year's FA OLT and OGs drafted were taken by a new staff. It could be that we actually got some quality OL. Whether we did or not the need to build depth and attempt to upgrade starters should remain a lifelong commitment.

The consensus of armchair GMs on this forum was ~ 5-1 in favor of King Dunflop signing. The same GMs were also about 5-1 in favor of Frankless signing as well. These were not wild crazy unexplainable signings. I recall vividly the licking of chops at the prospects of our mammoth monster oversized OL design - 320-330+ across the line woot! the biggest strongest roadgrading crew in decades! Turns out its sort of more important to be able to move more quickly and not trip a lot. Experiment fail.

having no responsibility in the matter, its easy for the ACGMs to do a 180 and criticize it. I get it. it seems to me, as we wait to see a single guy play an actual opponent, they viscerally learned the fallacy in the theory of super sized OL, and their corrections are exactly the right way to go - quicker more agile blockers that can get to a defender. Its all still on paper, two guys are unseen rookies, one is minimal experience late rounder ... so we must wait to see.
